Simulating Oligopolistic Pool-Based Electricity Markets: A Multiperiod Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper simulates a pool-based electricity market and identifies equilibrium patterns. A multiperiod framework that requires the use of continuous and binary variables is considered. Producers can be either price-takers or price-makers, although price-makers and their behavior characterize the market. The elasticity of the loads is modeled through piecewise constant pricedemand curves. The market operator uses a detailed networkconstrained market-clearing auction that results in hourly marketclearing prices. The behavior of the market participants and the market itself are characterized through a repetitive simulation procedure. The tool presented in this paper is particularly useful for the market regulator that may use it to monitor the market and to identify the exercise of market power by producers. Results from a realistic case study are presented and discussed.

Stochastic Multiperiod Decision Making Framework of an Electricity Retailer Considering Aggregated Optimal Charging and Discharging of Electric Vehicles
This paper proposes a novel decision making framework for an electricity retailer to procure its electric demand in a bilateral-pool market in presence of charging and discharging of electric vehicles (EVs). The operational framework is a two-stage programming model in which at the first stage, the retailer and EV aggregator do their medium-term planning. Determination of retailer's optimum sel...
متن کاملUsing restructured electricity supply industries to understand oligopoly industry outcomes
This paper argues that many determinants of generic oligopoly market outcomes can be studied in bidbased wholesale electricity markets under much weaker assumptions than in other oligopoly industries because of their rich data, regulatory history, and clearly specified market rules. These methods are compared to those used in existing studies of oligopolistic industries where the best data avai...
متن کاملOptimal Decision Making Framework of an Electric Vehicle Aggregator in Future and Pool markets
Electric vehicle (EV) aggregator, as an agent between the electricity market and EV owners, participates in the future and pool market to supply EVs’ requirement. Because of the uncertain nature of pool prices and EVs’ behaviour, this paper proposed a two-stage scenario-based model to obtain optimal decision making of an EV aggregator. To deal with mentioned uncertainties, the aggregator’s risk...

متن کاملApplication of an Improved Neural Network Using Cuckoo Search Algorithm in Short-Term Electricity Price Forecasting under Competitive Power Markets
Accurate and effective electricity price forecasting is critical to market participants in order to make an appropriate risk management in competitive electricity markets. Market participants rely on price forecasts to decide on their bidding strategies, allocate assets and plan facility investments. However, due to its time variant behavior and non-linear and non-stationary nature, electricity...
